Who wil win Srebrenica?

All voters are curious about who will win the election for mayor's position in Srebrenica between a Bosnian and a Serbian candidate. Srebrenica was the site of a genocide in July 1995.

Certain problems erupted in local elections in Bosnian city of Srebrenica on Sunday afternoon as a number of Serbs insisted on casting ballots without showing residential papers proving their addresses.

One of the five election centers in Srebrenica was shut down after Serbs continued to insist to vote without resident papers.
